The Window Menu

Window->New Window

Opens another instance of Kate. The new instance will be identical to your previous instance.

Window->Split Vertical (Ctrl+Shift+L)

This will split the frame (which may be the main editing area) in two equally sized frames, the new one to the left of the current one. The new frame gets the focus, and will display the same document as the old one.

Window->Split Horizontal (Ctrl+Shift+T)

Splits the current frame (which may be the main editing area) in two equally sized frames, the new one at the bottom half. The new frame gets the focus, and displays the same document as the old one.

Window->Close Current (Ctrl+Shift+R)

Closes the active frame. This is disabled, if there is only one frame (the main editing area).

No documents get closed by closing a frame – they will still be available in the Documents Menu as well as in the File List.

Window->Next View (F8)

Focus the next document view, if you have split the editor area in more views.

Window->Previous View (Shift+F8)

Focus the previous document view, if you have split the editor area in more views.

Window->Tool Views
Window->Tool Views->Show/Hide Sidebars

Toggles the display of the sidebar button rows. This command does not affect the display of the sidebar content widgets, any sidebar that is visible will stay visible, and if you assigned shortcuts to the below commands those will of course continue to work.

Window->Tool Views->Show/Hide Documents

Toggle the display of Kate's Documents list

Window->Tool Views->Show/Hide Filesystem Browser

Toggle the display of Kate's Filesystem Browser

Window->Tool Views->Show/Hide Sessions

Toggle the display of Kate's Sessions panel

Window->Tool Views->Show/Hide Find in Files

Toggle the display of Kate's Find in Files tool.

Window->Tool Views->Show/Hide Terminal

Toggles the display of the built in terminal emulator.

When activated the first time, the terminal will be created.

When the terminal emulator is displayed, it will get the focus, so that you can start typing in commands immediately. If the Sync Konsole with Active Document option is enabled in the General Page of the Main configuration dialog the shell session will change to the directory of the active document, if it is a local file.
